Update: back on the machine I use to hack on this package, history
shows that I ran
   git-buildpackage --pristine-tar --git-verbose --git-ignore-new
to generate my tar.bz2.  I do not remember where I found the
--pristine-tar option, it is not documented.  Anyway it generates the
exact same tarball as 'git archive' above.

I just removed .bak files from 'upstream', and pushed 'master',
'upstream' and 'pristine-tar' branches on Alioth.  As an alternative,
you may now generate a tar.bz2 by running
  pristine-tar checkout ../opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2

My new one contains 40389652 bytes and:
  $ md5sum opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2
  537699c4d4018c118dd1ca306bdd9861  opencascade_6.5.0.dfsg.orig.tar.bz2
